The Jazz (21-10) hosted the Blazers (16-15), but only Deron Willams decided to show up for Utah in the 96-91 loss. D-Will scored 31 on 11-for-16 shooting -- 6-for-8 on threes -- while the rest of the team shot 21-for-58 (36.2%). (Box Score)

Every time the Hornets play well, they induce a facepalms for about a week straight. Despite Chris Paul's 22-13 double-double and five steals, Nawlins (18-13) lost 113-98 against the Darkopuppies (8-24). The Hornets have won while shooting bad like the 42.4% they shot Monday, but Minnie shot 53.3% on only 77 shots -- 11-for-23 on threes. Michael Beasley scored 30, Kevin Love had a 16-11 double-double, and Wesley Johnson scored 24 with six threes.

If not for a foul, DJ Mbenga would've had a three trillion. (Box Score)
